From knowledge to new frontiers: IKL Dialogues at BEX 🚀
We are proud to announce that on Wednesday, 23 September, Maddalena Chiellini, Project Manager of Italian Knowledge Leaders, will take the stage together with Martina Bruno, from AIAA EMEA, at BEX – Beyond Exploration Expo to share the experience of “IKL & AIAA: A Dialogue on Space and Non-Space”, the first edition of our brand-new IKL Dialogues format.
At Convention Bureau Italia, we believe that bringing different forms of knowledge into dialogue can generate new connections, perspectives and opportunities.
This is the vision behind Italian Knowledge Leaders (IKL), our project dedicated to enhancing and supporting Knowledge Leaders – ambassadors of our country’s intellectual capital.
And this is where IKL Dialogues comes in: a new format designed to bring Knowledge Leaders from different disciplines together with companies from specific sectors, around a shared theme, creating opportunities for exchange that traditional scientific contexts rarely offer.
The first Dialogue focused on space, bringing together in Turin 20 Italian Knowledge Leaders and 20 representatives from the aerospace industry.
It was a first concrete example of how bringing different disciplines, expertise and perspectives around the same table can generate unexpected connections and open up new possibilities for dialogue.
The ambition of IKL Dialogues is to create new opportunities for Knowledge Leaders and businesses to meet around themes that cross disciplinary and sector boundaries – taking knowledge beyond its traditional borders and connecting worlds that rarely have the chance to meet.
At BEX, we will share where this journey began, what emerged from this first experience, and how IKL Dialogues can create new spaces for dialogue between knowledge, disciplines and industries.
📍 23 September 2026 | 10:45 AM | Rimini Expo Centre
Come and join us at BEX to discover more about this new journey.
That's one small step for IKL, one giant leap for Knowledge 🌖
